Lord:

Help me to say the truth in front of the strong and to not say lies just to get the
applause of the weak.

If you give me success, don’t take away the humility. If you give me humility, don’t take
away my dignity. If you give me fortune, don’t take away my happiness. If you give me
strength, don’t take away the reason.

Help me always to see the other side of the coin. Don’t let me inculpate of betrayal to
who does not think like me.
Teach me to love everyone the way I love myself, and to judge myself the way I judge
everyone else.

If I succeed, don’t let me be arrogant.  If I fail, don’t let me be in desperation.
But make me remember that failure is the experience that precedes the success.  
Teach me to continue loving even with my sufferings.

Teach me to trust still with my disappointments. Teach me that forgiving is most
important for the strong, and the revenge is the primitive sign of the weak.

If you take away the fortune, leave me hope. If you take away the success, leave me
the strength to succeed over the failure.

If I hurt people, give me the strength to apologize to them. If people hurt me, give me
the strength to forgive.

Lord, if I forget You, You don’t forget me. Amen.
